A review by surpriseitstaz
Brooklyn, Burning by Steve Brezenoff

3.0

I’m not sure who this book is for. It’s touted as a YA novel, but the themes are extremely dark and the whole book is sad and depressing. I appreciate and respect the representation and the important message of how LGBT+ youths often experience houselessness due to unsupportive families, and also...can we please have some happier queer stories?? I’m searching for positive (or at least not a complete bummer) YA stories about non-binary/trans characters for a teenager and it’s so hard to find.
